Just curious what DF2 is and when you say the weight and size are at the limit for extended cruising what do you mean? Would this not be a good coastal or sea boat? Thanks,

I live in northern VA but have kept my boat on the Chesapeake Bay for 13 seasons and I'm often asked why when the Potomac is so close. I've never owned a boat as large as yours (largest was a 35 LOA Silverton) and even with my 28 footer I enjoy the flexibility that the bay offers. I'm on the...

Thanks Dave! Appreciate all your contributions here and hope that you can find yourself back on the water soon Sir.

Looking forward to seeing you pics Angel. I just bought an 2007 260DA.

Figured out, I think...

one last try!

Testing to see if my signature works!

Hate to be a Rookie but I added a signature, saved it but its not showing up in my posts? does it have to be approved?

Hello Fellow Sea Ray People, I'm soon to join your fold as settlement is scheduled for this Thursday on my first Sundancer, a 2007 260DA. I'll miss my Regal but look forward to joining the family. Having sold all of my previous boat privately I never knew the joy of trading in a boat at a...

Thanks Rohan!

I had the dealer make the "Celery Stick" adjustment prior to my sea trial and although I had no prior experience piloting a 260DA to use for comparison, the boat planed quickly with no list. The only thing I see I'll have to get used to is the sensitivity of the tabs as the reaction is at...

Thanks Rohan, pictures of your seating setup would be great Sir!

Congrats on your new boat. I can feel your anxiety and excitement through the keyboard. I say this humbly, Please heed the advice given here and pay a captain to go over this vessel with you. And not just once for an hour or two. you'll need several sessions and take good notes. Nothing...

I'll share what I come up with. I have to get maximum seating out of that lounge and that spots got to be a backbreaker when underway.

Smart idea! Please report back with how it works for you. I need to measure that spots width. I'm thinking of modifying a seat cushion back an using white HD Velcro so I can remove I quickly Looking forward to being a helpful, active contributor to this board as it has helped me a great deal.

Thanks again for everyone's insight. I put the deposit down on the 2007 260DA and now have to scramble to find a surveyor! Has anyone added a seat cushion backrest to the starboard side rear lounge. There is a removable bottom cushion but no back. I'm contemplating making one. Wife says is...

Thanks for feedback Bennett, very helpful and encouraging! Salty Dog I believe your model year does not have the "listing reputation" that the '05-'08's seem to enjoy.

Hello All, Still on the fence with pulling trigger on 260DA 2007 vs. an older 2005 280DA. For those of you that have had the 260DA with the listing issue upon planing, have you found that the market for the boat is soft at resale due to prospective buyers being afraid of the listing problem...

My current boat is a Regal 2565 express which I have used for 5 seasons on the Chesapeake but it has the Volvo composite drive and for reliability I feel I need to make a change now. I'm already on my second composite drive. The move from my Regal to the 260DA is really a lateral move...just...

Hello All, I was a day away from putting a deposit down on a nearly perfect, low our 2007 260DA. The dealer will be trading a 2005 280DA next week and now I'm torn. I'm looking for the hidden advantages/disadvantages of the 280DA over the 260DA. The 280 has a Genny, and twin 4.3L with Alphas...
